Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and Yoga combine the benefits of yoga practice with an individualized assessment and program to address symptoms related to pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissue that support various organs and functions in the pelvis. Weakness or tension in these muscles can lead to issues such as incontinence, pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor is an essential part of the "core" muscles, which provide stability and support to the body during movement. By incorporating yoga into pelvic floor therapy, individuals can improve posture, strengthen the pelvic floor, coordinate its activation with movement, promote relaxation, coordinate breath with movement, and reduce tension. Yoga has been shown to have significant physical and mental health benefits, particularly for postpartum women. Some recommended yoga asanas for pelvic health include Child's Pose, Cat Cow, Happy Baby, and Supported Waterfall. Combining physical therapy and yoga can provide a holistic approach to improving pelvic health.

Most pregnant women will go through similar changes to their posture during pregnancy. As your baby grows and as your centre of mass changes (to out in front, thanks to your belly) it’s common for the pelvis to tip forward into an anterior pelvic tilt, causing an increased curve in the low back called a lordosis. This can contribute to tight low back muscles and hip flexor muscles (located at the front of the hips). Our bigger boobs created rounded shoulders and upper back and the weight shift causes our bum to clench - learn cues for managing these changes and avoiding pain and tension linked to these changes. A Prenatal Chiropractor can help maintain good posture throughout pregnancy and keep you feeling and moving your absolute best!
